First time blogger.....wtf?

A little about me. I have to admit, there is not much to look forward to for the coming season. All my attempts to discuss the new season are usually met with a few spicy verbs and adjectives followed by tugs of caps, kicking of dirt and so on. It's hard to talk in positive terms about the Giants these days either because of the feeling of hopelessness that many fans feel or because of.....well, how do I say this......the crappy off season moves the Giants have or haven't made this offseason. Having said that, I don't know that there was anyone out there worth getting in return for any part of LinceCain. Which brings up the biggest question I've had all off season. Is Noah Lowry that bad? Now that the "big name" free agents have been signed and a few trades have been made, I was left wondering why Lowry is still not gettin any sniffs. I've heard the arguments of how he's on the downside, he's frail, whatever. Lowry still won 14 games on a Giants team that couldn't score even if it was locked in a room with .......ah hell, its to early in the blog for bad Britney Spears jokes. This coming year does remind me of one joke though. Oldie but moldie:

A very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into Wal-Mart with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
The Wal-Mart Greeter said pleasantly ‘Good morning, and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?’
The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, ‘Hell no they ain’t. The oldest one’s 9 and the other one’s 7. Why the hell would you think they’re twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?’
‘I’m neither blind nor stupid, Ma’am,’ replied the greeter. ‘I just couldn’t believe you scored twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart

That'll sum up our offense this year I believe. Let's just get the inevitable over with. You know it. I know it. Sabean knows it, he's just waiting for the right time. The right time to announce that Pedro Feliz is signed for 5 years for 75mil. You read it hear first. And to be fair, what other choices are out there? Keep LinceCain. Keep Lowry. Keep Sanchez. Hell, with the lack of depth the Giants have I'm tempted to say sign Ortiz again. This year is a throw away year. The moment the Giants uttered those words, "youthful, younger" and so on, you knew it and I knew it. 2008 will be over just as it begins. Of course Sabes has to make it to the opening day without being Brian Sabean. Trading Cain, Lincecum and Frank Gore for Ruben Sierra. You know he's in a cold sweat right now as we blog. Kenny Lofton and Reggie Saunders are still available and the Giants still obviously need more candidates for that 5th spot on the depth chart for centerfield. Not to change the subject but my wife once tried to detoxify herself to lose weight. She took some kind of powder from GNC, it may or may not have been flax seed oil. Anyhoo, whatever was buried deep in the bowels was released and she had an opportunity to eat healthy and stay trim. The Giants I feel must do the same and flush their bowels. Of course she put the weight back on four months later but thats besides the point. The Gigantes can use this opportunity to start fresh. Bring up everyone from Velez, Sanchez, Timpner, Denker, hell, whoever shows up at Scottsdale. Anyone know where Lance Niekro is these days? ..........who am I kidding. It'll be interesting to watch spring training this year. When the Giants set up the pitching maching it might record the first no-hitter of the season.
